When I received this book a few years ago from Netgalley I did not realize that it was a children’s book. Still the women that are mentioned in this book are taught in any grade schools, junior high, or high school. Some of these women were spies, or saboteurs against the British, plotted and were able to get their husband out of captivity. This might not be a big deal to some people but the British held prisoners on ships so to find out where they were would take time. This is a good book to just see that women also played a role in our countries freedom.

This is an excellent book for anyone interested in history, especially women in history. It is wonderful for students studying early American history, as it highlights the roles of women that are never heard about. I personally did not know many of the stories in this book. The author has an engaging style that makes the reading very interesting. I am sure all three of my teen daughters would enjoy reading this book.
